Obviously a lot of the talk and excitement is around the national record but can anyone tell me what are the chances of local records being broken further north? I think we would be looking for over 34C around Manchester. I'm not a chart reader so can only go off the forecasts and right now both BBC and Met Office are going for a max of 33C on Tuesday

Rob K shared this link yesterday which shows the 2019 heatwave temps, many of those figures on the maps are records Microsoft Word - 2019_007_july_heatwave.docx (metoffice.gov.uk)


However Manchester and Leeds can never officially break their records as there are no longer weather stations there. They would have done in 2019 i think had there been weather stations there.   Somewhere just north of Manchester got 33.9c in 2019, and Bingley at 267m to the west of Leeds got 33.5c, so you would assume 35c has already been broken in the UHI's themselves.  Could be 36-38c Tuesday perhaps.

Rob K think you need to dust down the time reference points for last three record attempts for historic heat watch.

The refrigeration in my place has packed up at 32c before so 38c will almost certainly do it in.

Still no water, although the fire brigade have run a hosepipe to the island to help things fill up faster now the second leak has been fixed... it caused utter chaos as they closed the dual carriageway bridge. That meant ten thousand or so people coming home via this...


 



Not my photo, but it took an hour to drive from a certain school in Sittingbourne to the bridge. An hour to drive 4 miles, and that was before the queues really kicked in!


I filled up six 2-litre bottles at work yesterday, so at least I could flush the toilet this morning!


The school has reminded staff from the island (a good quarter or so come from there) that they can use school showers if needs be.


All I can say is thank goodness this all happened when it was "only" in the high 20s. If this happened next Monday/Tuesday instead there would have been all hell to pay.


EDIT: And the water's now back on. My goodness, I've never been so relieved to hear a toilet cistern filling!

Despite the appearance of some really concerning charts on the latest model output, the BBC/Meteogroup is forecasting a temperature of only 29° down in Hawick on Tuesday.


However, even that is hotter than what it was at any time when I was down there last year (the highest temperature back then was only 27°C with even that, feeling more than hot enough as it is).


Furthermore, the Met Office on its own website is still  forecasting a maximum temperature of 30°C in Hawick on Tuesday and what is even more scary is that my phone app is now forecasting a temperature of 32°C on that same day in that same location.


As time goes on, the model output charts just keep getting even more scary and as that is happening, those temperature forecasts just keep on going up.


This has to be seen as very concerning indeed not just in terms of the potential impacts of this upcoming heatwave, but also in terms of our entire future on this planet given the absolutely shocking regularity with which these high temperature records always seem to be broken these days.

iPhone app was showing 37C for London on Tuesday earlier but it has now ticked down to 36C for both Mo day and Tuesday. Surely still the hottest 48 hour period on record.

Absolutely historical to see this kind of data flying around, even if it doesn’t actually verify.

No heatwave down here.


Lovely and warm today with stiff breeze from NE and hopefully warm and sunny for the next few days.


The air feels unusually clear and not muggy at all which may change over the next few days.


We could reach 25/26 degrees on Monday


Of note is the moderate to rough seas which are expected to continue until Monday so RNLI could be busy this weekend!


Visiting my daughter in Gent next week - that will feel very different!

I'm polishing off my camera to take more photos of Cambridge University Botanic Garden weather station, which is just around the corner from me. It would be quite something to set the record twice in a row. Back in 2019 there was quite a bit of bare soil around it, not sure if the plantings have changed this year.

On the GFES 06 hrs, whilst there are only 5 Ps showing 40 degrees over my location at 6pm on Monday, the mean of all the outcomes is 36.


I know that is>100 hrs away but it represents quite some consistency in the 30 possibilities and I've never seen numbers like it.

45.7C was the highest reading, just 1.7C off the record. Today could be in with a chance of breaking the national record.

23.9c is the record

Met Office have 34°C here for Tuesday. Off of past experiences, you can usually add a degree or two to that, so 35°C maybe even 36°C? Pretty extraordinary for rural Northern England!


A minimum of 23°C for Monday night too!

Never thought I would see myself posting this in mid summer but from a weather entusiast perspective it's quite exciting actually - same for when we get a cold and snowy spell from an easterly but more worrying given that many households don't have air con! My partner is Romanian and use to this heat but even for her this will be too hot. I for one am not looking forward to these dizzy highs and overnight lows of +25c - as if the past week hasn't been hot enough:


 


15:00 temperature on Monday 18th: +40c in London



If anything it could be hotter and these temperatures have been upgraded too!

Look at the comments in the thread, more nut jobs who refuse to believe experts and who harp back that good old days.


A lot of these people will carry on like anymore normal day and then probably end up in hospital.
